I feel ambivalent about this kind of question. You might argue that it's required general knowledge, but relying on having read any one particular book seems arbitrary and a "gotcha" question.
I could be missing something about US software culture - is this considered a must-read or "celebrity" book over there?
- peruvian 6y agoIt's well-recommended in tech forum/enthusiast circles. It actually is a good book and worth reading if you're a backend dev. But the % of devs in the US that have read it is probably below 2-3%. Most of us (devs, not HN users) don't read or do code after work.
- exdsq 6y agoIt’s interesting how much of a bubble we can be in, that everyone’s coding/studying in their spare time. I do wonder what it actually looks like for the broader tech community.
